Miscellany Archives - Lynn Hayes astrology readings and writings

2 million views!

Yesterday this blog reached a landmark: two million page views since 2005. I want to thank all of my readers, especially the ones who have stuck with me year after year, through interesting times and not-so-interesting times, for the inspiration to keep coming up with articles that are worth reading.

While I’m thanking people, I want to thank my sister Jill who was the first blogger I ever knew and helped me set up the initial Blogger format, and Jeff who was the first astroblogger that linked to me. Jeff recently helped me with the change to my blog […]

Astrological Take on the Year’s Craziest Political Stories

I’m working feverishly to write the January Skywatch and to finish my forecast article on the Astrology of 2010, so rather than write a fresh post for you today I will post a link to this fascinating look by Patrick Watson of the political events of the past year and their astrological significations. The White House party crashers, the significance of Joe “You Lie” Wilson, the Healthcare town hall protests, the election protests in Iran, and the Obama “Birther” controversy – all are detailed here with full-color astrological charts.

Enjoy! And if you’d like to […]

The return of the Astrological Musings Community!

The bugs and kinks have been worked out of the Community, and I’ve got a nice little box on the blog to help people to access it.

Thanks for your patience to those of you who are members, and if you’re not, this is a good way to continue some of our discussions. If you have questions about astrology or about your chart we can talk about it here, and in the past some of the members have posted their charts so that the group can discuss it.

I’m going to start some interesting topics, so I hope to see you there!

Astrological Musings Radio: Sunday Morning 11am EST

Tune in Sunday morning at 11 am Eastern when we’ll be talking about Uranus and Mars. Mars is the planet that governs our drive and desires, and it will be turning retrograde soon, demanding our attention and energizing us for change. Uranus, planet of revolution and change, turns direct on Tuesday and will be re-energized itself.

We’ll be talking about the kinds of experiences we are likely to encounter as Mars travels back and forth through Leo over the next six months or so.

The placement of Mars in the chart is important in assessing various health issues and I’ll be talking […]

Computer Glitch Grounds All FAA Flights

I found it interesting that this occurred right after Mercury (communication) squared the progressed Sun in the US chart at 1:53 am. The computer glitch occurred between 5:15 am and 5:30 am, and by 9 am flights were being canceled just as the Moon was moving out of Sagittarius (air flight) to Capricorn (grounded on the earth). Once the Moon moved into Capricorn at 10 am it was conjunct Pluto in Capricorn (transformation) and squared by Saturn (restriction, challenge).

Probably just a coincidence, but interesting nonetheless!!

The Astrology of the Charter for Compassion

The combination of Jupiter and Neptune aligns religious philosophy and thought (Jupiter) with the spirituality of the experience of compassion (Neptune). Jupiter and Neptune conjoined between May and July of this summer as part of the larger planetary cycle that includes Chiron, the planet of wounding and healing. The alignment between Chiron and Neptune began in February of 2009.

Last year Karen Amstrong, winner of the TED prize in 2008 and a former nun, requested of the TED community:

“I wish that you would help with the creation, […]

“Boomsday” is Coming

I am on vacation until November 12th and will try to post as internet access permits. Meanwhile I am reposting some interesting articles from the past.

A column by Robert Samuelson about the upcoming “Boomsday” – the time (projected to be 2011) when 77 million baby boomers begin hitting the age of 65 and demanding their social security payouts. Because of the nature of the Social Security system, it will be the Boomers’ children whose social security taxes are paying for their parents’ retirement.

Many social critics anticipate a “generational backlash” when taxes have to be raised to accommodate the […]

The Astrology of the Windows 7 Release

The formal launch of the new Windows 7 software by Microsoft took place yesterday, October 21, at 11:08 am in New York City according to Cnet’s live blog. The chart for this event has the Sun in Libra and Venus in the 10th house of the public, which bodes well for its acceptance by consumers and it has already generated some favorable reviews..

Sagittarius is rising in the chart, echoing the general optimism and favorable reviews that surrounds the launch of Windows 7. The Moon is also in Sagittarius, though it sits in the 12th house which is not generally advantageous […]

Astrological Musings – Now Available on Kindle

You can now read Astrological Musings on your Kindle, Amazon’s e-book reader. I just got one for my birthday, and I am pretty excited about it.

Unfortunately, I cannot offer it at no charge and Amazon decided to put a price of $1.99 per month on transmitting it wirelessly to you. That’s their highest blog price so they must think it’s worth it. At any rate, I apologize for that but if you’d like to get AM on your Kindle every day, visit the link. They will give you 14 days for free.

September 9, 2009: 09-09-09

Nine is my favorite number, so I confess I have been looking forward to this day. Nine is the number of completion and fulfillment at its most filling until it spills over into ten and demands a new beginning.

Astrologically, nine corresponds to Sagittarius and the Ninth House. There is a sense of expansion and a world where life has meaning and everything is interconnected. Nine is the perfection of three when multiplied by itself. There are nine planets, nine major gods in the ancient pantheons, and larger pantheons are often divisible by the number nine.

Numerologically, however, the date 09-09-2009 translates […]
